Has anyone removed the dynamic metas from sessions, or made their own SEO mods? I am having some issues, as someone who does primarily SEO, with the way that things are handled in VP ASP, but I am not a programmer (nor would I like to be) and can't seem to figure out how to call what I want in the templates.

I already made the mods I want to the database, I just need to get them into the templates...

It depends whereabouts you want them to be shown/used I guess, and what they're for and how they're stored/constructed, as to what the approach would be.

If it's just a direct copy of the relevant column that you want to be shown in a product chunk, then you can just call the column with a square bracket in the relevant part of the template file; that'll work for custom-created columns as well as normal columns.

eg say you had a dedicated title tag column on products called "seo_title" and you wanted that to also be shown within the product page as text then you'd just change tmp_product.htm (product-detail) or tmp_productformat.htm (product-summary) to add:

$[seo_title]<br />

somewhere in the file (the $ meaning only show the other html on that physical template line if that seo_title field isn't blank, and the square brackets meaning it's a column name or a special-template-field)

Is there a way to call them in the template file though? If I call with a straight call from the database, I get the variable is not defined. I have defined it and when I look at the code, I see that it is calling * from products, categories, content, so it should be pulling all the columns.

I named the columns all the same, and have them for content, products, categories, etc. and I would like to call them for each page.
